571,420 | 4,248,714 | 95,882 | 1 | Police Academy 5 : Assignment Miami Beach | As with the previous three sequels , this one is no different , the first is still the best , and there are pretty much no moments that make you laugh . Basically head of the police academy Cmndt . Eric Lassard ( George Gaynes ) has reached retirement age , to the delight of Capt . Thaddeus Harris ( G . W . Bailey ) , ... |
571,231 | 4,248,714 | 113,540 | 1 | Kids | I don't remember much of this film , apart from that I found it one of the most awful and boring films ever . Also , I do not know any of the actors , apart from Jon Abrahams as Steven ; and I do remember a character called Casper , because they called him the " friendly ghost " . I did have to watch it in College clas... |
571,946 | 4,248,714 | 245,724 | 1 | FART - The Movie | I can't remember all that happens in this film , but I do remember some okay bits . This film was probably the inspiration for the awful Thunderpants . Basically Artie Wilson was born with a farting problem , he just can't stop when he is nervous , or easily amused , or he can make it happen himself . Seth Walther as A... |
572,758 | 4,248,714 | 74,751 | 1 | King Kong | From director John Guillermin ( The Towering Inferno ) , this remake is nowhere near as good as the 1933 original masterpiece . For one thing , it changes the whole reason to go to the mysterious island , the guy in charge , Fred Wilson ( Beethoven's Charles Grodin ) , is instead looking for a new source of oil , the m... |
572,870 | 4,248,714 | 69,768 | 1 | Battle for the Planet of the Apes | I had a feeling before I watched this that I would be confused because I should see the films in order , but to be honest , I don't think it matters either way , it is a rubbish film . Basically Caesar ( Roddy McDowall ) , son of Cornelius and Zira ( they had in Escape from . . . ) has grown up and become leader of the... |
572,743 | 4,248,714 | 155,975 | 1 | Psycho | If you want an example of a reason remakes to classic films shouldn't always be made , then this is the perfect , almost comedic example . Director Gus Van Sant ( To Die For , Good Will Hunting ) hoped to create a more modern version of Sir Alfred Hitchcock's most celebrated film , and it just doesn't work . It is almo... |
572,838 | 4,248,714 | 190,641 | 1 | Pokémon : The First Movie | This consists of two films , a ridiculous opening film called Pikachu's Vacation , and then the real film . The first part of the film is stupid because of the many ridiculous and hardly cute creatures . The real film , Mewtwo Strikes Back is obviously worse . Basically scientists have captured rare Pokémon , Mew , and... |
571,340 | 4,248,714 | 331,468 | 1 | Cold Creek Manor | This is one of the most pointless and boring " horror " films I have ever seen in my life . Nothing scary happens at all , and if it did it might of been more interesting . Cooper ( Dennis Quaid ) and Leah ( Sharon Stone ) Tilson are the married couple with two kids looking for a new house . They find one and decide to... |
571,893 | 4,248,714 | 114,151 | 1 | Poison Ivy II : Lily | The first film had Drew Barrymore as a very toxic girl and not much sex , the sequel is almost the complete opposite , but a completely rubbish film . I can't remember any toxic girls , but I can remember the main girl called Lily and a little more sex and nudity than the first film , but not overly exposing it like mo... |
572,413 | 4,248,714 | 79,641 | 1 | Nosferatu , the Vampyre | A stupid film with stupid acting and stupid moments that are meant to be scary , but they aren't . There's nobody I know in it but the guy who plays Count Dracula ( or Nosferatu ) is rubbish and is hardly terrifying at all . All the other actors are just as bad trying to convince you that they are either being stalked ... |
571,399 | 4,248,714 | 52,077 | 1 | Plan 9 from Outer Space | I mainly knew of this film for two reasons , being re-created in the Tim Burton biography Ed Wood , and for being considered one of the worst films ever made , from possibly the worst ever film director Edward D . Wood , Jr . Basically aliens ( originally coming in peace ) are commencing Plan 9 , resurrecting the dead ... |
572,111 | 4,248,714 | 156,904 | 1 | The Pornographer | When I heard the title of this film , I thought that I was definitely going watch it and that there would definitely be a lot of nudity and sex . How wrong I was . This has got to be the worst porn film I have ever seen . Basically a guy who is interested in porn and he decides to help work in it . One day , he meets t... |
572,757 | 4,248,714 | 240,515 | 1 | Freddy Got Fingered | I love him in Road Trip , but if I'd realised how sick and horrible this film was , I wouldn't have watched it . Basically Gord Brody ( twice Razzie winning - for acting and directing - Tom Green ) is an unemployed animator , and hopes to get one of his creations made into a show , but rightly so , a Hollywood cartoon ... |
573,094 | 4,248,714 | 105,616 | 1 | Tom and Jerry : The Movie | They were two of the most watched cartoon characters in the 60s , won 7 Academy Awards , and are still watched , but what is this ! ? Surely Tom the cat and Jerry the mouse deserved more respect than this . The film should have been just loads of new and brilliant moments where they are fighting , chasing and ruining e... |
571,422 | 4,248,714 | 1,073,498 | 1 | Meet the Spartans | 300 was a fantastic film , and from two of the makers of the Scary Movies , Date Movie , Epic Movie and Disaster Movie , comes this extremely disappointing spoof film . The 300 story isn't changed much , Leonidas ( Sean Maguire ) grew to be a warrior , goes to war with the Persians , led by Xerxes ( Borat's Ken Davitia... |
572,851 | 4,248,714 | 205,461 | 1 | Thomas and the Magic Railroad | I used to love the TV series as a kid , I almost never missed it , so I decided to see this film both to see if there was any resemblance , and why the critics hate it , from director Britt Allcroft ( who created the show ) . Basically the supply of gold dust , for travel between Shining Time and the island of Sodor , ... |
573,148 | 4,248,714 | 365,852 | 1 | Tooth | I think the reason I wanted to see this film was to see which well known faces wasted their career time , and ultimately why it is so lame , and boy did I agree with that opinion ! Basically Tom ( Rory Copus ) and Tolly ( Maisie Preston ) know that their Mom ( Smack the Pony's Sally Phillips ) and Dad ( Tim Dutton ) ar... |
572,772 | 4,248,714 | 79,550 | 1 | Meteor | This is a disaster movie from director Ronald Neame ( The Poseidon Adventure ) , but the real disaster is just how much this film sucks . Basically a comet / asteroid / meteor ( whatever you want to call it ) is heading for a collision for Earth , and obviously it could extinguish mankind if it hits . So the authoritie... |
571,041 | 4,248,714 | 63,135 | 1 | Inspector Clouseau | I think you know the main reason why I have rated this film one star , just like the further films after his death , it does not have Peter Sellers in the starring . Instead they have an idiotic Alan Arkin ( Little Miss Sunshine's Oscar winning actor ) as Chief Inspector Jacques Clouseau . He is not funny , he does not... |
572,964 | 4,248,714 | 101,329 | 2 | An American Tail : Fievel Goes West | When I was a kid I used to like the original first American Tail film , but then they started making straight-to-video sequels . This sequel is the only one I have seen , why did they have to make s sequel , at least as rubbish as this . Young Fievel Mousekevitz the mouse gets lost again ( for a little while ) and then... |
572,887 | 4,248,714 | 87,995 | 2 | Repo Man | It apparently had bad reviews , I'm not surprised , I couldn't understand the significance of it , why the critics give it four stars ( out of five ) , and I dozed off somewhere in the middle . The story as far as I got is that punk Otto ( The Breakfast Club's Emilio Estevez ) quits his job , and starts working with Bu... |
572,600 | 4,248,714 | 83,564 | 2 | Annie | Based on the popular Broadway musical this could have been a much loved film for kids and adults alike , but it just has too many flaws , and I can see what the critics mean about Razzie nominated John Huston ( The African Queen ) was the wrong director . Basically Annie ( introducing twice Golden Globe nominated , and... |
573,209 | 4,248,714 | 118,688 | 2 | Batman & Robin | This is one of the worst films I've seen , the other three Batman films ( especially the first one ) were better than this . Arnold Schwarzenegger plays Mr . Freeze , he cares too much about his wife , but that's obviously the point for him being evil . George Clooney plays Batman , when he is Bruce Wayne he is just th... |
572,378 | 4,248,714 | 83,475 | 2 | Scooby and Scrappy-Doo | After the success of Scooby-Doo , Where are You , they decided to give Scooby and Shaggy their own show . But unfortunately , they added a new character that spoilt Scooby-Doo success forever . They invented a new show with a new title , Scooby and Scrappy-Doo . It was Scrappy-Doo that made this show a complete failure... |
571,510 | 4,248,714 | 95,403 | 2 | Police Story 2 | This sequel starring and directed by Jackie Chan again fails to have the same impact as it's predecessor . Basically , with his unorthodox police methods , Jackie is demoted to be a traffic cop . Despite this , the villain from the last film who he put away is now out , and has vowed to make his life a misery . While h... |
571,550 | 4,248,714 | 182,488 | 2 | Ted & Ralph | They took two of the most loved or talked about characters ( three if you count Rowley Birkin ) from The Fast Show and turn it into a TV made film . Unfortunately the result wasn't that great because it makes the actors and characters combined look corny and embarrassing . Basically Ralph ( Charlie Higson ) needs to ge... |
571,353 | 4,248,714 | 113,388 | 2 | Illegal in Blue | Obviously this is one of those films I only wanted to see for some good nudity and sex scenes , but I didn't get what I was expecting . The only two sex scenes that I can actually remember was a very short lesbian scene in the club that the main guy was visiting , they were doing it while he chatted with the owner . Th... |
571,094 | 4,248,714 | 338,459 | 2 | Spy Kids 3-D : Game Over | I saw this on TV , so I didn't have any 3D glasses ( although I did for a few minutes find a way , the blue and red wrappers in Quality Street , but it got annoying ) , then again , I dunno if I'd want to see a full 84 minutes in 3D , imagine your eye sight for a while . Basically Juni Cortez ( Daryl Sabara ) is alone ... |
571,679 | 4,248,714 | 360,486 | 2 | Constantine | Based on a DC comic , a man battling with hell and all it earthly happenings , and starring The Matrix's Keanu Reeves and The Mummy's Rachel Weisz , what could be better . But this isn't a good film in my opinion ! It the most confusing film I have seen for ages . What I could understand was John Constantine ( Reeves )... |
572,344 | 4,248,714 | 397,101 | 2 | The Skeleton Key | This is another one of the apparently " scary movies " that has no good acting , no shocks , no twists and there is just no point seeing it . I can't remember much of what happens , but basically Caroline Ellis ( Kate Hudson ) is going to work for an old woman . While there she is given a skeleton key to open all doors... |
572,296 | 4,248,714 | 87,078 | 2 | Conan the Destroyer | I heard that the original film , Conan the Barbarian , was meant to be a pretty good film , especially for Arnold Schwarzenegger starting his career . I think this was Schwarzenegger's second or third film after the good success of The Terminator , but it is not one that goes in his greatest films list . Conan is on a ... |
572,759 | 4,248,714 | 69,848 | 2 | Carry On Girls | I will admit I didn't pay full attention to everything going on in this film , but to be honest , I don't think it would have mattered . Basically local councillor Sidney Fiddler ( Sid James ) persuades the incompetent Mayor Frederick Bumble ( Kenneth Connor ) of Firecombe to hold a beauty contest , to improve the town... |
571,131 | 4,248,714 | 167,456 | 2 | Thunderbirds | From Star Trek : The Next Generation star and director Jonathan Frakes ( Star Trek : First Contact ) , fans of the popular Gerry Anderson puppet show will be very disappointed by this live action attempt . In the year 2010 , whenever the world has a disaster , International Rescue , formed of the Tracy family : father ... |
572,150 | 4,248,714 | 78,504 | 2 | The Wiz | Forget what you've seen with Judy Garland and The Muppets , this nothing like either of them , in pretty much all aspects , from director Sidney Lumet and writer Joel Schumacher . It has the same basic story of The Wizard of Oz , but it is all black film with new songs ( no " Somewhere Over The Rainbow " here ) and new... |
573,140 | 4,248,714 | 362,270 | 2 | The Life Aquatic of Steve Zissou | From the director of The Royal Tenenbaums , Wes Anderson , I was expecting a few more giggles , a bit more plot and some good faces doing great performances , but it turned out to be none of those . Basically the story sees a crew lead by Steve Zissou ( a dull performance by Bill Murray ) in his big yellow submarine , ... |
572,319 | 4,248,714 | 82,495 | 2 | Halloween II | Apparently this was meant to be the conclusion to the series , but more sequels do seem inevitable , and maybe it should have been , written by the previous film's director ( and composer ) John Carpenter . Basically the film picks up where it left off , Dr . Sam Loomis ( Donald Pleasence ) shooting Michael Myers six t... |
571,128 | 4,248,714 | 239,949 | 2 | Say It Isn't So | Produced by the Farrelly Brother , Andy and Peter ( Dumb and Dumber , There's Something About Mary ) , and directed by J . B . Rogers ( American Pie 2 ) , this is a gross-out comedy gone a bit too far . Basically good-hearted Gilbert ' Gilly ' Noble ( American Pie's Chris Klein ) finds the girl of his dreams with Josep... |
571,538 | 4,248,714 | 311,429 | 2 | The League of Extraordinary | This film is one of the most ridiculous ideas in film history , and not even Sir Sean Connery or the special effects can rescue it . It one of the worst film choices for Connery , to play Allan Quatermain who has no super powers like the others , I do need to see Connery's version of Ransom though to see if that is wor... |
571,991 | 4,248,714 | 338,094 | 3 | The Haunted Mansion | Like Pirates of the Caribbean , this is another film based on one of the Disneyland attractions , I think the only reason I wanted to see it was because of the leading actor and some of the co-stars , I didn't really think of the story or anything , from director Rob Minkoff ( The Lion King , Stuart Little ) . Basicall... |
571,517 | 4,248,714 | 338,096 | 3 | Dirty Dancing 2 : Havana Nights | If your going to do a sequel to a successful 1980's film , make sure firstly that it is not straight-to-video , and that it has a similarity to the original . These pointers were obviously not applied . Anyway , basically , it is the 1950's , and young Katey Miller ( Romola Garai ) is moving to Havana with mother Jeann... |
573,111 | 4,248,714 | 431,197 | 3 | The Kingdom | To be honest , I think I lost track during this film , and only the stars kept me going , but bits of this film from director Peter Berg ( Welcome to the Jungle ) were okay . Basically a terrorist detonates a bomb on an American facility in the Middle East , or Riyadh , Saudi Arabia . FBI Special Agent Ronald Fleury ( ... |
571,514 | 4,248,714 | 83,530 | 3 | Airplane II : The Sequel | Airplane ! from Jim Abrahams and the Zucker brothers ( David and Jerry ) was a fantastic spoof film , but this sequel ( simply titled " The Sequel " , lousy ) made without their help quite obvious to fail . Basically Ted Striker ( Robert Hays ) , who has recently escaped from a penitentiary is following ex-lover ( agai... |
571,036 | 4,248,714 | 141,109 | 3 | Jack Frost | The trailer that I saw looked pretty good , and obviously I like the star of Beetle Juice and Batman , and seeing it a second time it isn't too bad . Basically Jack Frost ( Michael Keaton ) is a rock singer , and he hardly sees his wife Gabby ( Kelly Preston ) or son Charlie ( Joseph Cross ) . One night he had a terrib... |
573,149 | 4,248,714 | 312,528 | 3 | The Cat in the Hat | I really liked Jim Carrey as the Grinch , so I thought I might as well give another popular Dr . Seuss starring another great comedy actor a chance . Basically brother and sister Sally ( The War of the World's Dakota Fanning ) and Conrad ( Spencer Breslin ) are two bored ( and grounded ) children home alone ( besides t... |
571,808 | 4,248,714 | 386,140 | 3 | The Legend of Zorro | I had a feeling that this sequel from the same director Martin Campbell ( GoldenEye , Casino Royale ) was going to not as good , and it was . To be honest , I wasn't paying the biggest amount of attention to the entire story , but as far as I understood , Alejandro De La Vega ( Antonio Banderas ) , aka Zorro , and his ... |
572,213 | 4,248,714 | 240,684 | 3 | The Little Mermaid II : Return to the Sea | When I was younger , I thought the first film was really good in childhood , so I decided to see the sequel . This is an example of why some films shouldn't have sequels , because the first film is usually best , and it is . Basically now that Ariel and Eric are married they have a daughter who isn't allowed outside th... |
571,862 | 4,248,714 | 100,758 | 3 | Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles | When I was a kid , Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles ( UK title ) was one of my favourite cartoons , so decided to try this live action film , from director Steve Barron ( The Adventures of Pinocchio ) . Basically New York is becoming more crime filled , that is until the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles , four humanoid turtles ... |
571,162 | 4,248,714 | 260,628 | 3 | Kipper | This is a good example of a kids show . To be honest I only watched the theme tune most of the time , I hardly watched the actual show . It is based on some children's books , that's all I knew before I saw it . It is about a dog and his friends , a dog and a pig who have many weird and wonderful adventures . They go o... |
571,695 | 4,248,714 | 290,002 | 3 | Meet the Fockers | Even though I had no memory of the previous film , besides the obvious moments ( e . g . dropping the mother's ashes ) , I had a feeling this wasn't going to be better . From director Jay Roach ( Austin Powers ) this sequel has it's tiny moments of hilarity , but not enough concentration on a story . Basically Gaylord ... |
571,260 | 4,248,714 | 65,724 | 3 | Five Easy Pieces | This for some reason is my book called 1001 Films You Must See Before You Die , why ? In my opinion it is just the tiniest bit of a pointless film . Who thought of the idea for this film , a guy travelling to see his sick Dad , wow , that's it . Anyway , Oscar and Golden Globe nominated Jack Nicholson plays Robert Eroi... |
571,433 | 4,248,714 | 160,127 | 3 | Charlie's Angels | I had seen the odd bit of this , and knew the three leading actresses , so I suppose it was necessary to see the film based on the popular 70's TV show in full , from director McG ( Joseph McGinty Nichol ) . Basically a mysterious guy named Charles Townsend , or just Charlie ( who we only hear the voice of , by Dynasty... |
572,393 | 4,248,714 | 364,751 | 3 | Without a Paddle | This is one of the silliest ideas I know for a film , three friends who knew each other as kids going a nightmare trip just to do something pretty small . Basically best childhood friends Dan Mott ( Seth Green ) , Jerry Conlaine ( Matthew Lillard ) and Tom Marshall ( Dax Shepard ) have recently lost their old friend an... |
573,143 | 4,248,714 | 329,737 | 3 | It's a Very Merry Muppet Christmas Movie | I once saw a bit of this film , and was interested to see the full thing just to see why the critics give it two stars , the result being that I agree . Basically the film begins with Kermit the Frog ( Steve Whitmire ) telling all his Muppet chums that they have lost everything , and he ends sitting depressed ( and pos... |
572,282 | 4,248,714 | 113,198 | 3 | A Goofy Movie | I don't think I've ever seen the beginning of this film , but it doesn't matter , not all of it is that good anyway . I think the only good things about this film are the small bits that make you giggle ( not laugh ) and the relationship between the main star and his son . Basically Max has met a new girl in school and... |
571,221 | 4,248,714 | 96,101 | 3 | Short Circuit 2 | I haven't seen the first film , and I missed some of the beginning of this film , but never the less , I still saw enough of this to know most of the story . Basically the robot from the first film , Number 5 is exploring the city again or something looking for new stuff , trying to make friends or just trying to have ... |
573,003 | 4,248,714 | 245,674 | 3 | Thir13en Ghosts | I had heard of this film and one of it's female stars ( from the popular teen comedies series ) , I guess I wanted to know why the critics give two out of five stars , but it's no surprise if it's from director Steve Beck ( Ghost Ship ) . Basically Arthur Kriticos ( Men in Black's Tony Shalhoub ) and his family , daugh... |
571,768 | 4,248,714 | 65,832 | 3 | Hercules in New York | During his fame as Mr . Universe and Mr . Olympia ( winning eight times , the record for any bodybuilder ) , and before his star turn in The Terminator , Arnold Schwarzenegger debuted in this frankly silly film . Basically Hercules ( Schwarzenegger , billed as Arnold Strong ) is bored of life on Mount Olympus , and Zeu... |
570,955 | 4,248,714 | 95,956 | 3 | Rambo III | With the release of the fourth film in 2008 , simply titled " Rambo " ( " John Rambo " in America ) it was right they should show all three of the original films , and this is the third ( duh ! ) . Basically John Rambo ( Razzie winning Sylvester Stallone , also nominated for Worst Screenplay ) is living in Thailand hel... |
572,482 | 4,248,714 | 320,691 | 3 | Underworld | I knew this film was about vampires and werewolves , and I knew the lead actress , but that's about it , so I suppose I had to give it a go , from director Len Wiseman ( Die Hard 4 . 0 ) . Basically a war rages between the vampire and Lycan ( werewolves ) races , and Selene ( Van Helsing's Kate Beckinsale ) the beautif... |
572,737 | 4,248,714 | 274,166 | 3 | Johnny English | Rowan Atkinson really became popular for Mr . Bean , got a British Academy Award and appeared in a couple Richard Curtis films including Four Weddings and a Funeral . This was another chance for a starring role , after Bean , and it is not a bad one . Atkinson plays Johnny English , he appeared in some Barclaycard adve... |
571,502 | 4,248,714 | 253,556 | 3 | Reign of Fire | I had heard a couple of people tell me that this film was rubbish , so naturally I wanted to see it for myself , and boy did I agree with the opinions . It isn't the absolute worst film I've seen for a while , but it certainly isn't good enough to see again . Anyway , basically years ago miners opened up a long buried ... |
573,294 | 4,248,714 | 253,658 | 3 | Scooby-Doo and the Alien Invaders | This straight to video film when I was young was quite good because it went back to the original style of Scooby-Doo the TV series . The only thing that could put it down a bit was the songs . Scooby and the gang get lost and end up in a desert village outside a alien spotting station . Aliens are starting to appear an... |
572,778 | 4,248,714 | 331,632 | 3 | Scooby-Doo 2 : Monsters Unleashed | Just like the first live action film this is cheesy , and only good for the familiar faces , well , that's it , still director Raja Gosnell ( Home Alone 3 , Big Momma's House ) . Basically Scooby-Doo ( Neil Fanning ) and best friend Shaggy ( Scream's Matthew Lillard ) are seen as the screw ups of the gang , and for onc... |
573,293 | 4,248,714 | 166,792 | 3 | Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island | This was the very first of the new animated TV made film adventures of Scooby-Doo , the dog kids grew to love in the 70s . The gang have gone there separate ways . But they are now brought together ( by Fred ) to try and find a real ghost story for Daphne's TV show . They discover a mysterious island away from Louisian... |
571,054 | 4,248,714 | 90,852 | 3 | Clockwise | I suppose it is funny in some places , but most of this film is a bit too lacklustre . John Cleese plays a Basil Fawlty type of character called Brian Stimpson who is head teacher of a school . Stimpson has been selected to be a possible winner for the best school head teacher somewhere quite far away . He needs to be ... |
571,551 | 4,248,714 | 120,855 | 3 | Tarzan | You've probably seen the many live action films about the king of the jungle and the apes , well this is a cartoon version by Walt Disney Pictures . Basically Kala the female gorilla ( Glenn Close ) always longed for a child , and one day , she finds it . She finds an empty hut in the jungle once belonging to someone ,... |
573,292 | 4,248,714 | 63,522 | 3 | Rosemary's Baby | This is meant to be one of the scariest films ever made , I didn't find it that frightening . In fact , only the sex with the devil and the ending shock me , a bit . Rosemary ( BAFTA and Golden Globe nominated Mia Farrow ) and her husband want a baby . One night Rosemary has a dream that she is having sex with a dark c... |
570,951 | 4,248,714 | 105,629 | 3 | Toys | When I was a kid , this used to be quite an amusing film with Robin Williams as a joking toy person , and from director Barry Levinson ( Rain Man ) . Basically the father of Zevo Toys has recently died , and he has left the company to General Zevo ( Sir Michael Gambon ) , I think he was his brother . Unfortunately , th... |
571,694 | 4,248,714 | 425,413 | 3 | Run Fatboy Run | I loved the leading actor in Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz , and then I heard that this was directed by Friends star David Schwimmer . To be honest , though I was a bit disappointed , and completely agree with the critics ' two out of five stars . Basically Dennis ( Simon Pegg ) ran away from marrying his pregnant fia... |
571,235 | 4,248,714 | 79,844 | 3 | Salem's Lot | Personally for a Stephen King book based film I would recommend The Shawshank Redmption , Misery or The Shining , because I was expecting this to be more scary , not boring and have only two or three moments of terror or blood . Basically , even though I didn't care about the story much , a writer comes to the town of ... |
571,803 | 4,248,714 | 244,244 | 3 | Swordfish | I knew this was going to be a bit of a rubbish film ( not just because the critics give it two out of five stars ) , but you have to make sure anyway . Basically it is a not too distant future relying on a lot more computer technology . The DEA shut down their dummy corporation operation codenamed " Swordfish " in 1986... |
571,770 | 4,248,714 | 396,269 | 3 | Wedding Crashers | Even before it started , I was dubious of this film , and to be honest , I was right , I should have watched a better film . Basically John Beckwith ( Owen Wilson ) and Jeremy Grey ( Vince Vaughn ) are business partners and lifelong friends who share a truly unique springtime hobby - crashing weddings . They basically ... |
571,449 | 4,248,714 | 110,300 | 3 | The Land Before Time II : The Great Valley Adventure | If the kids liked the first film , then they will like the straight to video sequel .

571,506 | 4,248,714 | 462,499 | 4 | Rambo | I had a feeling this film would be not all great even before I watched it , but with all the hype being put on it , and apparently lots of violence , I knew I should at least try it . Basically Vietnam veteran John Rambo ( Sylvester Stallone , also directing and writing ) now lives a secluded life in Thailand , where h... |
572,001 | 4,248,714 | 277,434 | 4 | We Were Soldiers | Based on a true story , a book called We Were Soldiers Once . . . and Young , this is quite an intriguing war film . Someone in a documentary about the film said that nearly all war films are not accurate , so director Randall Wallace stars as Lt . Col . Hal Moore and leads a bunch of recruits to the battle of Vietnam ... |
571,428 | 4,248,714 | 61,391 | 4 | Bedazzled | I had seen the Brendan Fraser / Elizabeth Hurley version long before this original from director Stanley Donen ( Singin ' in the Rain ) and written by the two leading actors . It is exactly the same premise , a guy - Stanley Moon ( Dudley Moore ) - wants to be with a girl - Margaret Spencer ( Eleanor Bron ) - and along... |
572,104 | 4,248,714 | 156,200 | 4 | Babar | When I was younger I used to like elephants , especially in cartoons . This was a very simple cartoon with some short and simple stories involving all the characters , but it was still good . Babar in his childhood had his mother shot by hunters , but he was rescued and looked after by an old woman . As he grows up he ... |
571,123 | 4,248,714 | 21,738 | 4 | Chickens Come Home | Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy are the most famous comedy duo in history , and deservedly so , so I am happy to see any of their films . Basically Ollie is running for mayor , when old flame ( Mae Busch ) shows up with a photo of him and her together , blackmailing him to give her money to keep quiet . Stan is the one wh... |
572,305 | 4,248,714 | 307,987 | 4 | Bad Santa | I recognised the title and leading actor , but I didn't really know much about the plot or premise , so I was quite surprised to see what I did .

571,850 | 4,248,714 | 113,133 | 4 | Funny Bones | I can hardly remember the meaning of the story , apart from the fact that Oliver Platt as Tommy Fawkes wanted to make a comedy show . I think we only wanted to see it for the quite funny performance by Lee Evans as Jack Parker . He is quite a jittery character at first and gets involved in chases , but he soon shows hi... |
572,198 | 4,248,714 | 113,119 | 4 | Elke | This is a mediocre story about a family starting to break a part . The father and husband Jeff ( C . T . Miller ) is bored with life , the mother and wife Linda ( Griffin Drew ) misses her husband's company , and their teenage daughter ( played by young Lisa Boyle ) is disrespectful and always with her boyfriend . Then... |
571,511 | 4,248,714 | 368,709 | 4 | Elizabethtown | When I heard the title , I thought it would be some kind of period drama , I didn't realise it was a real state , but I did know the lead actor and actress , and I was willing to try it , from director Cameron Crowe ( Jerry Maguire ) and produced by Tom Cruise . Basically after causing a loss of nearly a billion dollar... |
571,084 | 4,248,714 | 841,027 | 4 | Magicians | From the makers of Peep Show , and director Andrew O'Connor ( who did magic as a kid , and has been executive producer of pretty much all Derren Brown shows ) this isn't too bad . Basically Harry ( David Mitchell ) and Karl ( Robert Webb ) used to be two of the most successful magicians on stage , but it was after Harr... |
571,450 | 4,248,714 | 171,363 | 4 | The Haunting | I always wondered which haunted house film was spoofed in Scary Movie 2 , and renamed Hell House , now I know , and I can definitely see why it should be spoofed . From the director of Speed , Jan De Bont , it is a remake of the 1963 film , where a bunch of people are placed in the isolated house to study sleep disorde... |
571,780 | 4,248,714 | 427,229 | 4 | Failure to Launch | From the short advert I saw for this film , I was something different , but it still turned out okay . Basically 35 year old slacker Tripp ( Matthew McConaughey ) hasn't been able to keep a relationship going , because he is still living with his parents , Sue ( an underused Kathy Bates ) and Al ( Terry Bradshaw ) , al... |
572,000 | 4,248,714 | 466,342 | 4 | Date Movie | From 2 of the 6 writers of Scary Movie , this is quite a good spoof movie picking on many popular romantic comedy and drama films . Basically Julia Jones ( American Pie's Alyson Hannigan ) is a big girl ( probably spoofing Shallow Hal ) and wants a prince charming , she writes about it in her diary ( like Bridget Jones... |
573,119 | 4,248,714 | 104,692 | 4 | The Lawnmower Man | Apparently this film was vaguely based on a short Stephen King novel , and I did see an image from the film in a book about special effects , I think it was the leading James Bond actor that attracted me . Basically ( possibly in a near future ) Dr . Lawrence Angelo ( Pierce Brosnan ) works for Virtual Space Industries... |
573,012 | 4,248,714 | 118,172 | 4 | The Wind in the Willows | I have seen many versions of the famous Kenneth Grahame classic story , too many in fact , and this was the very first live action version . You probably already know the story , but this one has had a few changes made so it is a bit more exciting , but not too much . Mole ( Steve Coogan ) is painting his wall when sud... |
571,672 | 4,248,714 | 113,161 | 4 | Get Shorty | Most of this film is a bit confusing to understand and just the tiniest bit pointless , and unfortunately not all of it makes me laugh . But there are moments of interest when the stars are talking about the nature of films . Golden Globe winning John Travolta as Chili Palmer is pretty good at being serious about makin... |
573,118 | 4,248,714 | 338,526 | 4 | Van Helsing | I admit I did want to see this when it was at the cinemas , but seeing I'm glad I didn't , but it is okay film from director Stephen Sommers ( The Mummy , The Mummy Returns ) , who I suppose is trying to capture some of the other memorable Universal monsters in one film . The film opens with Dr . Victor Frankenstein ( ... |
571,471 | 4,248,714 | 286,716 | 4 | Hulk | It was predictable to see the first live action film starring the big green monster on TV , because of the release of the new Edward Norton one at the cinemas .

572,713 | 4,248,714 | 182,789 | 4 | Bicentennial Man | If you like futuristic films with some good special effects , then you might like most of this one . Basically it is the not too distant future , and robots are the new thing of the 21st century and nearly every home has one . ' Sir ' Richard Martin ( Sam Neill ) buys his family one of these robots , it's , or his name... |
571,099 | 4,248,714 | 57,193 | 4 | It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World | This was the film that inspired Jerry Zucker's Rat Race , with an all-star cast , all racing to the same place to get to the fortune first , from director Stanley Kramer ( Guess Who's Coming to Dinner ) . Basically somewhere in the desert , a car speeds along the roads , and the driver ( Jack Benny ) loses control sail... |
572,311 | 4,248,714 | 880,578 | 4 | Untraceable | Obviously inspired by the Saw series , and referencing the phenomenon of video watching ( like YouTube ) , for negative purposes of course , this looked like an interesting horror thriller , from director Gregory Hoblit ( Frequency ) . Basically FBI agent Jennifer Marsh ( Diane Lane ) works in the Cybercrime division ,... |
571,882 | 4,248,714 | 117,765 | 4 | Striptease | Taking off her clothes was quite a popular thing , so somebody thought , why don't we get Demi Moore to do it throughout a whole film . The result a higher pay for Moore , more flesh than usually shown and a rather silly script / story . Anyway , Erin Grant ( Moore ) needs to get a job that earns a lot of money so she ... |
571,149 | 4,248,714 | 117,786 | 4 | Mr . Nice Guy | When you see bits of this you expect it to be quite fun , and then when you read the review by critics you can agree with what their saying . Based in Melbourne , Australia , this story sees Jackie Chan as Jackie ( LOL ) , a popular TV cook with great food talents , and knowledge of martial arts . His life is turned up... |
572,369 | 4,248,714 | 290,095 | 4 | The Tuxedo | The lead star and the concept of the film are what drew me to see it . Basically Jimmy Tong ( Jackie Chan ) gets the job of chauffeuring for millionaire Clark Devlin ( Jason Isaacs ) , who is actually a super spy with many gadgets . It is after Devlin has an accident , ending up in hospital , and unknowingly Jimmy trie... |
572,749 | 4,248,714 | 317,198 | 4 | Bridget Jones : The Edge of Reason | I loved the first film , and from the look of it I expected this to be not as good as the first , and I was right . This sequel picks up four weeks after the first , and clumsy , fat ( she put on quite a bit of weight ) and insecure Bridget Jones ( Golden Globe nominated Renée Zellweger ) has human rights lawyer Mark D... |
571,417 | 4,248,714 | 317,303 | 4 | Daddy Day Care | Cheaper by the Dozen was out the same year , and this is almost the same type of film . I have given this film the same rating out of 10 as I did for Cheaper ( because it isn't brilliant ) , but I think this is the much better film to watch . Basically two fathers , Charlie Hinton ( Eddie Murphy ) and his friend ( and ... |
